“I want it!”
Doris, gritting her teeth in pain, hoarsely said, “Ok! 150,000 dollars then 150,000 dollars it is, Mr. Adelmar. I’ll pay you in a while. Give me the pill.”
Waylon handed the small paper package to Doris.
“Doris!” Jennie exclaimed in exasperation. “Are you crazy?”
“I trust Mr. Adelmar,” Doris said. “Sis, you don’t need to worry anymore.”
Jennie angrily gave up, muttering under her breath, “One pill, and it costs 150,000 dollars. Outrageous!”
Doris pinched the pill, tilted her head back, and swallowed it without even taking a sip of water.
Then she transferred 150,000 dollars to Waylon using mobile banking.
“Ding!” Waylon glanced at his phone, confirming the money had been received.
Jennie’s face turned gloomy.
“Do not speak for half an hour,” Waylon said. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave.”
Doris could only nod, expressing her gratitude to him.
After Waylon left, Jennie criticized her sister, “Your throat may be sick, but your brain is sick too! You let him fool you out of 150,000 dollars!”
Doris remembered Waylon’s words and remained silent, keeping her mouth shut.
“I can see that this man is an expert at setting up scams and extorting money!” Jennie said, her face filled with anger.
Doris took her phone and typed a message for her sister: “If that’s the case, why did you agree to send my two children to foster care?”
Jennie glanced at her sister, choked up, and remained silent.
Doris typed another message for her sister: “My brain isn’t sick.” Mr. Adelmar is an extraordinary person. Didn’t you see him kick open the door and rush in to save the children? That’s not something an ordinary person can do.”
Jennie furrowed her brow and felt that the elegant and noble man was exceptional.
But whether he was ordinary or extraordinary, mundane or mystical, would be revealed after half an hour.
Didn’t he just say sister’s throat would improve after half an hour?
Hmph! I’ll wait and see!
The sisters kept their thoughts to themselves, remaining silent.
The hospital room was so quiet that one could almost hear the “drip-drip” sound of the IV.
Half an hour had passed, and Jennie pointed at her sister’s mouth.
“Speak up, say something for sis to hear, let’s see if that boastful man is all talk!”
“Well, I’ll give it a try,” Doris replied, and Jennie nearly fainted.
Doris herself was astonished. Her voice was clear, smooth, and without any trace of hoarseness or discomfort.
Jennie immediately grabbed her sister. “Doris, this man is truly a gem. Don’t let him slip away.”
“Sis,” Doris blushed, “what are you saying? Mr. Adelmar and I can’t even be considered friends!”
“We weren’t friends before,” Jennie exclaimed excitedly, “but from now on, we’re friends. And you have to turn him into a boyfriend. As long as you stick to him, where would a man wander?”
“I can’t believe you,” Doris blushed even more, “Mr. Adelmar doesn’t even like me. Didn’t you see the disdain on his face?”
“Are you sure?” Jennie replied, “Would someone with a face of disdain agree to let our two babies stay at his house?”
“He only agreed because of Ms. Louise’s influence,” Doris said.
“So, did he bring you medicine then?”
“I bought it for 150,000 dollars.”
Jennie: “…” That’s true.
“Anyway,” Jennie thought for a moment and continued, “you have to make a move and hold onto this man. Haven’t you noticed how much he resembles the two babies? You must have a connection, Doris. Listen to me sis and don’t let it slip away!”
Doris: “…”
Her sister is really wishful thinking, isn’t she? Has she even considered whether her sister is deserving of Mr. Adelmar?
Meanwhile, Abel called Paul and informed him that the Wonder Doctor had agreed to treat Flynn.
Paul was delighted upon hearing the news and quickly called Altney.
Paul arranged for the next morning at his villa to treat Flynn.
He planned to personally accompany Flynn and fly over in a helicopter.
Abel then explained the situation to Benjamin.
Benjamin pondered for a moment and said, “If Emma insists on treating him, we have no choice but to cooperate with her.”
“This situation started because of me,” Abel said. “I’ll explain it to our elder brother afterwards.”
“That works,” Benjamin said. “This time, will you be the assistant or should I take over?”
“I’ll be the bodyguard,” Abel said. “You’re more familiar with the business, so you can help.”
“Alright,” Benjamin nodded. “I’ll prepare protective suits for Emma.”
